Abstract
The present work reports on the observation of periodic structures of atoms in a two-color sodium MOT. For the first time macrostructures are observed within a MOT environment, i.e., with all the fields necessary to trap the atoms present (inhomogeneous magnetic field, trapping and repump lasers).
